2. Measure the EPS-ECU voltage without disconnecting the connector (by backprobing).
3. Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
4. Measure the voltage between the EPS-ECU connector (TSV terminal) and the EPS-ECU connector (TSE terminal).
  OK: 5 ± 0.2 V
Q: Is the check result normal?
1. YES: Go to Step 5.
2. NO: Go to Step 4.
STEP 4. Check of short to power supply, short to ground, and open circuit in TSV and TSE line between EPS-ECU connector and torque sensor
Q: Is the check result normal?
1. YES: Go to Step 5.
2. NO: Go to Step 7.
STEP 5. Scan tool (M.U.T.-III) data list
1. The steering is in the neutral position.
2. Check the following data list DATA LIST REFERENCE TABLE .
  - Item No. 03: Torque sensor (power supply)
Q: Is the check result normal?
1. YES: Go to Step 7.
2. NO: Go to Step 6.
STEP 6. Check whether the DTC is stored again.
1. Erase the DTC.
